Preview: The Battle of the Bronx
The Battle of the Bronx is tomorrow night and it should be a good game between Manhattan and Fordham. The Rams are going to be without Chris Gaston after knee surgery, but there always seems to be a little bit of magic at Rose Hill. Jaden Daly is back to answer questions about Fordham prior to the match up. I also some for him about Manhattan.

Beamon’s Back To Lead Manhattan
Welcome back George Beamon.
Preview: UIC vs. Iona
The Paradise Jam tournament has already been quite eventful for Iona. The Gaels lost a heart breaking game to Quinnipiac and then shellacked Wake Forest. Now Iona will take on UIC at 5 p.m. It’s been a while since I covered the Flames in Chicago, so I asked Horizon League Hoops’ Chris Burrows to answer some questions to get ready for the game.
